TOWARDS FRANCE SPANISH KING'S CLAIM TANGIER PROJECT REVIVED SPAIN SEEKS COMPLETE POSSESSION. ACCORD WITH FRANCE URGED. By Telegraph—Per Press Assn.—Copyright, Received Dec. 27, 8.30 p.m. PARIS, Dec. 26. The ‘ 'Figaro’s” special correspondent at Madrid interviewed King Alfonso, who said: “It is to the interest of France that Tangier should be Spanish. Franco knows well that all aggressive movements originate in Tangier. Abd-el-Krim is a case in point. Tangier, if left outside the Spanish protectorate, will continue to be the point of departure for rebellious movements against Spain and France. “The great number of square kilometres of territory which I am ready to give France in return for other advantages is proof of my friendly and abiding faith in France. Our interests arc the same in Aforocco. We must pacify the entire zone as soon as possible and to this end I hope we may reach Record with Franco at the earliest possible date.”
